In order to make our film opening effective, we need a professional looking opening titles to show at the beginning of the film. We wanted it to represent the genre of the film without being too cliched and without it looking childish. It needed to be scary but sophisticated at the same time. To create this effect, we decided that we should keep it simple with black and white. The white font on the black background looked more scary than black font on a white background. We then looked at different fonts to see which one stood out to us as our favourite. We ended up with the three below.
The first title is effective as the font isn't too big and daunting. The letters have a slight old feel to them which, along with the colours, makes the font seem scarier than it would in other circumstances. The way the letters are thin in some places and thick in others make it look like they are sitting at a slight jaunty angle, creating a more mysterious vibe from the font.
The second title is effective because the font is bigger but thinner. This gives the font a stretched look which could work well with a horror effect to fade it out. The letters are quite close together and the slightly curly ends of some of the letters give the font a more sinister look without looking too over-the-top scary.
The final title is effective as it uses a classic horror font to create evil and demonic connotations. The slashed nature of the font makes it look almost like it's written in blood, which we could use as an effect to transition through the titles. This font immediately shows the audience the genre of film which is effective as it draws people in to watch the film.
